IronNet Enhances Network Detection and Response Solution, IronDefense

IronNet, Inc., a pioneer in transforming cybersecurity through collective defenseSM, has announced that its network detection and response (NDR) solution, IronDefense, now has more features. IronDefense, awarded the best possible grade by SE Labs for Enterprise Advanced Security NDR Detection, enables advanced and early visibility of unidentified cybersecurity threats that have evaded endpoint and firewall detection and infiltrated the network, regardless of whether it is on-premises or in the cloud.

With IronNet's most recent NDR enhancements, Security Operations Center (SOC) analysts can use IronDefense to identify VPN misuse, including high abnormal login times, password spraying, and unsuccessful logins, all of which may be suggestive of brute force attacks or unauthorized access attempts. Additional analytics enhancements enable the identification of ongoing patterns of both randomized-timing and fixed-interval beacon activity, as well as the detection of DNS tunnels utilizing innovative encoding techniques employed by cybercriminals.

The IronNet product development team has also improved IronDefense's usability. Specifically, new sensors can now be automatically commissioned and upgraded without the intervention of SOC personnel.

IronDefense allows customers utilizing SentinelOne endpoint detection and response (EDR) to remotely establish and update network inventory and isolate a device in a SentinelOne-deployed network through the Entity page of the IronDefense user interface. CarbonBlack and Crowdstrike endpoints offer equivalent capabilities.

About IronNet, Inc.

IronNet, Inc., founded in 2014 by GEN (Ret.) Keith Alexander, is a global leader in cybersecurity that is revolutionizing how enterprises safeguard their networks by providing the first-ever Collective Defense technology operating at scale. IronNet, which employs a number of ex-NSA cybersecurity operators with both offensive and defensive cyber experience, incorporates extensive tradecraft knowledge into its industry-leading technologies to address the world's most difficult cyber problems.

Varonis Introduces Automated Posture Management to Fix Cloud Security Risks

Varonis | January 27, 2023

On January 26, 2023, Varonis Systems, Inc., a leader in data security and analytics, announced the availability of automated posture management to assist clients in resolving security and compliance gaps spanning their SaaS and IaaS systems. Varonis continuously scans, identifies, and ranks cloud security threats, providing CISOs and compliance officers with real-time insight into their data security posture. With this new automation option, users can fix misconfigurations in applications such as Salesforce and AWS with a single click from a unified interface. According to Gartner, through 2025, 99% of cloud security breaches will be the customer's fault. CIOs can counter this by adopting and enforcing rules for cloud ownership, accountability, and risk acceptance. Varonis Field CTO, Brian Vecci, said, “Automated posture management takes the burden of understanding and remediating cloud misconfigurations off the customer.” He also said, “We stay on top of the latest configuration risks and best practices, so you don’t have to. Now, we can not only show you exactly how to improve your security posture, but we can also automatically mitigate risk on your behalf.” (Source – GlobeNewswire) This release marks a significant advancement in cloud data security. Passive data security posture management (DSPM) solutions need manual operations to generate help desk tickets for a person to review and fix in every cloud application manually. Varonis offers a uniform and automated method for minimizing the attack surface of multi-cloud environments. Automated posture management is the most recent tool introduced by Varonis to simplify data security outcomes. Varonis introduced least privilege automation for Google Drive, Microsoft 365, and Box, as well as a new data security posture management (DSPM) dashboard early this month. About Varonis Varonis is a leader in data security and analytics, waging war differently from typical cybersecurity corporations. Instead, Varonis focuses on protecting business data like: Sensitive files and emails Strategic and product plans Financial records Confidential customer, patient, and employee data In addition to data protection, Zero Trust, data governance, compliance, categorization, data privacy, and threat detection and response, Varonis solutions handle various other critical use cases. The company began operations in 2005 and has clients in the financial services, healthcare, industrial, energy and utilities, insurance, technology, media and entertainment, consumer and retail, and education industries, among others.

SteelCloud and Telos Corporation Collaborate to Enhance NIST RMF Compliance

Telos Corporation | January 09, 2023

SteelCloud LLC, a leading CIS and STIG compliance automation software developer and Telos Corporation, a renowned provider of cyber, enterprise, and cloud security solutions to the world's most security-conscious organizations, recently announced entering into a partnership to assist customers in reducing the complexity of NIST Risk Management Framework (RMF) compliance. Customers gain access to all seven RMF phases via a unified, automated solution. SteelCloud's ConfigOS capabilities take care of the identify/ categorize, select, and implement components of RMF for technical assets. ConfigOS examines an asset, determining whether Security Technical Implementation Guides (STIG) apply, scanning against the STIG standards, identifying compliance indicators, and automating the remediation of findings. Meanwhile, Xacta incorporates and uses this information during the RMF's assessment and authorization processes, as well as when the monitor step is initiated once authorization to operate (ATO) is obtained. Working together, ConfigOS and Xacta drive decisions to address identification and selection problems while reporting important indicator metrics required to achieve and sustain ATO. STIG and vulnerability data from ConfigOS are integrated into Xacta and mapped to appropriate requirements as part of Assessment and Authorization (A&A), providing customers with a streamlined approach to gaining necessary permissions. Xacta's workflow automation streamlines the whole NIST RMF workflow, managing validation, analysis, documentation, and accreditation processes from start to end. About Telos Corporation Telos Corporation provides solutions for continuous security assurance of personnel, systems, and information to the world's most security-conscious enterprises, empowering and protecting them. The company offers enterprise security solutions for identity and access management, organizational messaging, secure mobility, and network management and defense.
